Manufacturer: as described
What a neat item! This is made of bakelite (it passed the hot water and 409 tests) and is a shaving kit, with a mirror, cup, brush and brush holder. This folds down for storage, travel, or just a better look. The top and inside is a bright yellow color, and the bottom is a swirling green and gold design. This measures 6 1/8" square and is 2 1/8" high (when folded). It’s 9 ¼" tall when open.
The cup for the soap is milk glass. The brush has a bakelite handle and badger hair bristles. The bottom of the brush is impressed with "Opal B206 Pure Badger sterilized trademark".
This Art Deco period kit is in generally very good condition. The milk glass cup has no chips - the brush looks near new, the mirror is excellent. The top layer of celluloid is starting to separate a bit. This can obviously be glued back so it’s snug.

The bottom, green colored, piece shows some minor scuffing. To the left of the ring that holds the cup, there is a slight mark on the celluloid that is ¼" x ½". No discoloration on it, just a different feel. What a great gift for a man, or those who just love neat, weird Art Deco stuff! (#T-1811)
